Point Campground – Deschutes

Beautiful setting, crystal clear water and perfect weather = perfect day!

It was a bit more crowded than I was hoping for but everyone was really friendly and helpful. We had our dogs off leash as did everyone else and that was fine. The water was perfect for swimming. We also did kayaking. The ground was pretty rocky so bring water shoes and don't plan on getting a good sandy spot unless you get up to the lake waaaaay early. We got there about 11:30 and it was hard to find a spot. Beautiful view of the mountains and incredibly fun to swim and play in the water. 💙

It's a nice and simple campground. Enough space to spread and breathe a little. The camp host was super nice and welcoming. I haven't had any complaints so far with Elk lake in general except for the masses of people at the resort in the summer :)

Small, but picturesque campground, right on Elk Lake. Beautiful view from most sites. Quiet, except for the road noise.fortunately the road isn't horribly busy. Vault toilet isn't too bad.

This place is rocky, has no water to fill gallon containers, limited flat areas for tents, one bathroom shared with day use.
If you don't get one of the 2-3 sites on water, then you will access water to play in or float in at the boat ramp. Not the safest.
Lots of coming/going of cars with day use traffic.
Lastly, right on hwy, so you hear cars all the time. Average at best.
Better campgrounds in area.
